to offer smart, stylish and efficient electric
heating systems that are an economical
choice for your home.
Why choose Rointe electric heating instead
of gas?
For a long time, gas was considered the most
common form of heating in homes, but it
has largely remained the same in terms of
technology and efficiency. Rointe electric
heating, however, has evolved into an energyefficient alternative.
Our electric heating systems are easier
and cheaper to install than traditional
gas systems. They don’t require pipes or
chimneys, only a simple connection to the
electric supply. Our products are also safer,
as they do not burn fuel to generate heat.
This eliminates the risk of carbon monoxide
emissions and other explosions. They are
clean and environmentally friendly, as they do
not contain heavy metals, harmful fossil fuels
or polluting gases.
Our heating systems are also 100% efficient,
with no heat loss through a pipe network.
Whereas gas requires expensive maintenance
to keep it safe; with electric heating there
are no flues to inspect and no gas safety
certificates to obtain.
In the past, the decision always came down
to two options, old-fashioned gas central
heating or inefficient electric heating like
cheap infrared or panel heaters. However,
Rointe has led the way in the heating industry

What is ERP - Lot20?
Within the heating industry, not all products
have the same level of performance. ERP is
the new EU legislation designed to remove
inefficient products and technologies from
the market, called the ECODESIGN Directive.
ERP affects heating systems, including solid
fuel heating systems. We are concerned with
Lot20 as it applies to solid fuel local space
heaters or local space heaters only.
Lot20 states that all energy-consuming
heating systems (electricity, gas or liquid)
with a rated heat output of 250 W or more
must meet a minimum energy efficiency
standard, expressed as a percentage. It
states that all relevant products must meet at
least 38% seasonal energy efficiency, which
Rointe electric heating products meet and
even exceed.
